my heart is bursting
but what can I do?
I can sing.
badly.
play a bit.
but nothing new.

you, fire that gives light
but does not consume.
you are new,
"no speech, no word, no voice is heard"
all true
and yet you thunder across our lives
 . . . .playfully.

Inching again, doubting again,
towards that chasm
I found it gone!
(I have, at least, learnt a little about this.)

yet across the chasm -
no, into the chasm?
valley of darkness
you lead
and we dance.

I turn again and tomorrow I will remember nothing.
"heaven sounds boring!"
remind me!
only you can remind me.
reinstate me in the reality which is only present when you are.

try again,you say.

"Do not forget me"  whines the psalmist.

but it is you who speak.
we forget; not you.
